	[color=00a651]"Yeah don't touch the mech newbie! Or Cap' will put ya in her secret sex dungeon where she does lewd things to exotic species like you!"[/color] A hollow clang rang out from above the hangar as Kidd Landed on the chassis of the rather large combat mech. Crouching with her elbows on her knees, she looked down at the newcomer and the returning crew with an inattentive expression, observing as the captain, Alexis, left toward the bridge. A few quiet moments passed as the mossy haired, ambiguous teen stared at the Or’Taleen stranger. Haven't seen one of these before, she thought, picking her nose absently with a pinky. Still somewhat new to traveling through the galaxy, she hadn't seen a whole lot species other than those that frequented the solar system. After watching as the group departed for the rest of the ship, Kidd finally dropped down off the shoulders of the Aegis and landed with a leathery thud next to its feet which hung motionless in the air, her boots squeaking slightly on the plated hangar floors. [color=00a651]"I better stock up on snacks before that giant eats them all..."[/color] With that she scampered off down a random corridor.

	Several minutes later, the sounds of sliding mechanisms echoed through the rather vacant bridge as Alexis entered through the automated doors. She was greeted with small flickering lights and faint beeps from the consoles, along with a subtle snoring. Curled in an awkward upside-down ball with arms crossed in one of the seats toward the front of the bridge, out like a light with a gun catalogue hanging over his face, was the leather clad meathead of a bounty hunter Rulgath. However, slipping out from beneath the catalogue were the pages of a lascivious galactic erotica magazine. Scattered across the floor beneath the seat he was in were a couple mostly empty bags of exotic snacks and a few yellow crumbs. None the wiser as the captain came aboard the bridge. 

	Met with the bright still image from a floating holo-screen, Alexis could see the wanted poster painted with the face of the criminal Shaw. Below is mulish, unshaven face was a reward tag of fifteen million credits. On screen next to the poster was some slightly grainy footage stuck in a five second loop. As Alexis addressed Edstein through the coms, she could see the video zoom in and discontinue the loop, playing from the beginning normally. It looked like footage from a security camera hanging over a dimly lit alley somewhere on earth. The info on the video indicated it was recorded in the lower districts of New Newyork. There was no motion at first, but after a few seconds, Alexis could see the man identified in on the poster, running for his life as he frantically avoided being fried by plasma rounds shot by his tentacle armed pursuer. The feed wasn't live but it was pretty close to it, with the record time indicating it had happened only a few minutes ago. 
	
	[color=A9A9A9]"Yes captain. This guy."[/color] Responded Eddy shortly over the coms. A few more panels of information scrolled down over the screen showing Shaws current projected location radius among a wire frame map of the city. [color=A9A9A9]"Maybe two to three hours away. This can be a quick one."[/color]

	[color=82ca9d]"All hands. Captain on the bridge."[/color] The announcement resounded through the Empirion as Zanith stood and welcomed Captain Elijah McDonnell aboard the populated bridge. [color=82ca9d]"Good morning captain. Command is now yours."[/color] With a brief salute, Zanith offer the captains seat to Elijah and took his own behind the helm where he remained attentive toward the captain as he spoke. [color=82ca9d]"Yes sir. Ashatu emperors are still currently threatening to wage war with the Kalthari due to cultural differences and mythologies based around an ancient artifact invaluable to the Ashatu hierarchy. However, with negotiations from UGCP ambassadors, they've been talked into a seventy two hour ceasefire. We've been assigned with locating and retrieving the stolen Ashatu artifact which is the cause of this conflict. After initial investigations revealed there to be no Kalthari involvement, we were provided with a lead on the artifacts whereabouts, leading us here to planet Earth. It turns out the lead was accurate sir, as our scans have just picked up on the artifacts current location."[/color] 

	After a few tweaks to his console, the small topographical image of New Newyork emerged among the blueish luminescent hard light display in front of Zanith. He rose the image up and slid it through the air toward Elijah. As it slowed down and stopped in front of him, it showed a small red blinking dot slowly making its way through the lower infrastructure. [color=82ca9d]"It appears to be on the move sir. Somewhere in the denser parts of the city. Shuttle access only. Judging by the speed, I'd say on foot. What are your orders sir?"[/color] The voice of a crew mate rang out from the lower helm. "We've made contact with NNYPD sir. They're willing to coordinate but it may be delayed due to other assignments." Another called out from close by. "Just got a report from the hangar. We have a squad shuttle loaded and ready for deployment sir." The pale blueish hue of the Earths cloudy surface peered through the bridge windows, casting a gentle glow over the smooth chrome surfaces and reflective monitors.

	A low and repetitive revving hummed from the bottom-side engines of the shuttle as it made its way through the concrete and steel jungle that was the lower districts of New Newyork. Within, the small group of makeshift reinforcements sat, waiting to arrive at Shaw's side. It wasn't too slow but it wasn't all that fast either. They likely would have been moving much faster if it wasn't for the auto pilot guiding them toward their destination. It would still be a few minutes before they arrived. The rather bulky form of CB17 sat across from Grace, hands resting in his metal lap as he motionlessly stared at the nervous girl through his visor like optical units. 'HE' was a relative term, as CB17 was no more man or woman than any other fully automated heavy combat and defense assault droid. The crew of the hellion simply refereed to him as a 'he' do to his male voice program. After several moments of watching Grace as the tapping of her heel against the hull of the shuttle faintly rattled out under the buzz of the engines. [color=00FFFF]"Observation. You appear to be in distress Miss Grace. Recommendation. Would you like a glass of water?"[/color]
